Hello guys,

Quick question. Anyone has any idea why this is happening. The paint is crumbling and peeling in one corner of the living room. Any help or remedy will be appreciated?

Moved to Painting and Decorating. Looks to be damp ingress and efflorescence to M2.

it look like damp, check your gutters move anything up against the wall

Is ground level higher outside than indoors?

Ground level is higher but in that exact corner has a brick shed attached to the wall, could a leak in the shed roof be the cause of the issue?

Yes or a hidden pipe leaking, is there any pipes or cables going through the wall ?
